another dropped Murcielago, without air

[white out]

Douchebag of the year 2012.


Nice car dude, I'm impressed you drive it year round. I'd do the same.

Since moving to MI, I picked up an M3 to deal with the harsh winter, that never came. But salt is still liberally spread on certain days. So the Murci has been down for the past four months. I have been using this time to do maintenance and a make a few adjustments. When I was in CA and until December it was my DD (and only car).

See, you're misguided. Im not making fun of the fact that you own a lambo. That's all good. Im laughing at the fact that you post those pics and expect everyone to kiss your ass because you drive a lambo.

The fact that you drive it in the winter just shows that you can either just barely afford it or you dont care about taking care of it or just want to beat it up. Once again, I think you're stuck up on the whole "hey, look at me! I'm cool because im so hardcore and drive a stanced lambo in the winter."

I drive the Lambo daily because I've done the 4+ car game and at that would have regret taking one car vs. the other. Eventually sold off everything and was DD'ing my Viper ACR. At that point I was either going to go for a 900whp DD Viper or change over to Lambo. I decided to give the Lambo a shot and I'm very happy with driving it as much as possible.

I missed the part where you were "making fun". Enjoy your E30, they are very fun cars.

Thankyou for driving this headache of a car year round with its blind spots, constant slew of attention and annoyances, just because it's fucking awesome and you're a car guy.

It is a pain to drive this car almost anywhere besides an open road. But it's a Lamborghini and I have no other choice but to embrace the PITA characteristics. One of the big perks for driving it is seeing people and kids get excited when they see it. I embrace all different styles of vehicles and enjoy seeing unique vehicles when I’m out, and as a kid it would make my day to see a cool car. So I enjoy giving that feeling to the demographic who it makes a difference to.

U should invest in some vintage series hre wheels. I like the color.. It's uhh dare I say... Understated?

Aside from white, this is my favorite color and I lucked out finding it close to where I lived. For someone who doesn’t DD one, a bright color is great. But for normal use, the car needs as much help to blend in as possible.

It also works as camo against the helicopters. lol

lol@ the first pic,


dare i say, GT40??!? hehehhe

LP40

Love the Murcielagos and I'd daily mine year round too if I had one. I'm with you on the more function over form thing too. Especially in a car like that that's meant to be driven and driven hard. Easy to live with as a daily?

It’s a total PITA to daily compared to a Viper ACR, which is not a good DD. The worst aspect is pedal travel, which is very short and does not offer much room for error or sloppiness, but it becomes routine. After picking up the M3, I forgot how easy driving a car could be.

I agree, this car doesn't have that much low.and I have never been a fan of those stock wheels.but at the end of the day this is still a lambo, and is cool to have theze type of cars being posted in here.I'll be waiting for better pictures. Bad ass automobile

The car should settle down a little more after some road time, but as far as low goes on this site, it is still conservative.

More pictures will come, from the Nikon.

OP, what happened to the one you converted to rwd?

This is the RWD car.
I’ve been making and installing RWD conversions on Murci’s for about a year now. I have the only full conversion that protects the transmission and keeps the original AWD driveline in tact.

Dropping that and putting wheels on it to the point where fenders are kissing the wheels would take away from its purpose, looks it would be nice.

Op said he thought about spacers while it would look better, if I really drove that car, I wouldn't put anything on it that would make me worry when I want to open it up a little bit. That cars meant to be driven. While it would be awesome to see one tucked and poked at the same time it would be criminal. I'm with op on this one. You Dont see them very often, and when you so they are mostly garage queens. Lifes too short drive the hell out of it. Remember you can't take it with you when you die.

Yeah, spacers would be nice to put the wheels a little further out. I too wanted to do the same to my Viper (rear wheels/tires same size and it tucked the rear wheels inside the fender), but I’m not sure if I want to have the spacers. I really don't want to have the chance for any extra stress on the hubs/lug bolts at high rates of speed. If I get bored one day and have no further aspirations for changing another aspect of the car, I'll probably end up picking some spacers up.

Back on topic: Lamborghinis are so dope! I wish you good luck with the car, and give us som better pictures! If I can give you an advice, get som other wheels, which looks a bit more exclusive

It’s kind of funny, I used to dislike this style wheel and I really **** chrome. But for some reason these wheels have grown on me. Maybe because they looked dated ten years ago. I’m sure I will change wheels when it comes time to replace the tires, or at least pull these apart and make them matte black. But for the mean-time I’m embracing these wheels.
More pictures will come. I’ll post them up in this thread, as to not clutter SW with the same car.

exotics have major 4x4 stance from the factory...

looks great, Nick

They really do. I dropped my Viper on coilovers too and it still looked like a monster truck. At least the Lambo’s wheels wells are not that massive. But when many people run 19/20” combos (and 20/21”) it puts the size of the wheel wells in perspective.

Here’s what the car looked like with AWD:


Another dirty shot from iphone, but you get the idea of monster truck status in RWD

As for the lambo, I'm definitely feelin it especially as a daily. How reliable is it for DD?

Very reliable. The clutch failed just after I purchased the car due a clutch stop the PO had on the car, which would glaze the clutch every time I started the car.
2002-2003 cars don’t self adjust the throttle bodies, so they have to be constantly cleaned (about once a month for how often I drive). It takes about 15 minutes and is simple. Otherwise it’s just fluids.

and what do you drive a vw?

Who cares what he drives. The Lambo has shitty wheels plain and simple. I drive a VW and also think that Lambo looks bad, you should feel bad.

This thread is now about a butt hurt SW member.

OP, it says you're in Michigan. What part of the state are you in?

Lansing.

Since I’ve posted so many dirty cell phone pictures, here’s a shot of it clean, with the DSLR.

The throttle body thing is actually pretty cool, sort of forced maintenance. I had to go through a PITA process with a friend's 2007 nissan truck to reprogram everything after cleaning the nasty TB. Never doing that again....

Life is short and if you have the money why the f$%# not drive a badass lambo every day? After all, it is a car, that's what they do for a living. I personally don't have any interest in supercars, but I appreciate them when they are owned by people like you. I can't stand people that own cars and treat them like they are museum pieces, especially when they are new and there's more than one in the world. I really think it would look way better with some different wheels but hey, whatever.



I tried, but I can't resist saying something about "gxblade"...

Things you should know:

1. No one cares
2. Did you ever think for a moment that driving a lambo is really no different than driving ANY OTHER SPORTS CAR if you aren't #brokeasfuck? I love how you assume anyone with a car that costs more than the $5-30k you had in one of your e30s is trying to show off and one-up everyone and has an attitude.
3. Grow up and figure out why you're so miserable and then start enjoying life.

There, that covers my arguing on the internet for the last 10 years and all of next year.

Wow. That really is a beautiful color when it's all cleaned up. I love the quieter colors on Lamborghini's. There's a bright green one and an orange one in my area and they just cry for attention. This is a beautiful car though.
As for the wheels, I don't mind them but I don't like the chrome. They would probably look sick if they were brushed or something IMO. Vintage Series HRE's would look sexy as fuck though

[alexwh0]

You clearly have a nice car, but I love how someone is trying to **** on you for it. Nice job busting his balls without literally putting them in a vise.

[KarlSpackler]

Of course he drives a e30, the ugliest BMW ever made.

Ban.

I'd love to see this thing lower and on a nice set of wheels. I'm glad you actually use your car vs. just having it sit in a garage.

[eddiegratis]

you're awesome

[Jamil]

Hey bro, because i had an E30 on BBSs and 2 M3s before that, makes me so bad ass that i want to just **** on this car. because everyone knows, an E30 on BBSs and 2 M3s before that > murcielago...right? -_-

shits legit, do work son!

As much as I **** that gx dude, that comment did cross a line I'm much more surprised he drives an e30 than a vw though. But aren't all the vw kids buying old bmws now because it's hip?

[Byron]

So how did you lower it while keeping the stock springs? Love the car, I'd do just what you're doing if I had the money. I have a friend that DD's his bright orange Gallardo right up until they start salting.

[Neil]

So how did you lower it while keeping the stock springs?

I believe they come with factory fitted air bags.

X2. The car looks good with better pics. I donto recall saying anything about the car. I was commenting on the horrible pics.

Either way, successful troll is successful.
